With some additional logging I found out that my problem is most probably not related to the mixed request parameters. It is a problem of synchronizing the decisions of whether to recycle Request/Response objects and whether to recycle the processor.
I'll send more details in another mail with topic 'Comet: Unsufficiently synchronized recycling decisions'.
